IT seems there is no limit to the dis
advantages of the interstate commerce
bill, judging by the following from the
Globe-Democrat of Tuesday: From
January l to April of this year, ,040
miles of new railroad track were laid
in the United States, larger total
than has been recorded for any pre-
vious year, excepting in 1892. 1t is
proper to bear in mind, however, as
suggested by one of the best railway
journals, that this represents plans of
construction antidating the passage of
the interstate commerce law. What
effect that law viii have upon plans for
new roads and extensions which have
not yet been finally arranged remains
to be seen; but it is safe to say that for
several months to come the capitalists
will be slow about investing money in
enterprises which may be embarrassed
by the enforcement of measure so re-
markably wanting in conference and
precision -

Vetoe. the HIgh Licrnss Bill.

ALBANY, April Ex-Governor Hill
sent to the assembly last night mess
age vetoing the high license bill, and
on motion of Mr.. Crosby, the promoter
Of the measure, it was laid on the
table. The veto is put upon two
grounds: First, it is special legisla-
ton, because it applies only to the
cities of New York and Brooklyn, not
withstanding the fact that in a major
ity of the other cities and towns of the
state the number of saloons is greater
than these in proportion to population;
Second, because some OF its provisions
are unconstitutional. The message is
accompanied by opinions from the at
torney general and from ex-Judge Com
stock sustaining that view. The gov
ernor expressly reserves an expression
of his own views on the subject of high
license and prohibition advocates, and
that of the Germans of the other hand,
all of whom he pronounces well-mean-
ing citizens. AS to the alleged motives
actuating the legislature in passing the
bill he says, while the question of tenn
perance is not a party question
and cannot be made such,
yet it is impossible to ignore the politi-
cal aspects of the measures especially
when it is well known that its support
was made the subject of consideration
at party caucus of the majority of
the legislature, and where it has been
ingeniOusly devised and peculiarly
framed SO as to opel etc solely upon the
two greater democratic constituencies
of the state, while republican constitu-
encies are exempted from its burden.

LOUISVILLE, April 1S.-The propi-
tious weather brought out large
crowd yesterday at the Louisville Park
to witness the fourth game of the
championship series between the Chi
cago and ST. Louis clubs, there being
about 900 present. The contest was
nip and tuck one throughout, and
there was no telling which way it would
go until the last man was out in the
ninth inning. Hard hitting and bril-
liant base running were the features
rather than the fielding, though the
fielding was superb. Sunday, Ryan,
Arson and DAILY of the big men from
the lake, distinguished themselves, the
first three by heavy batting and the
last by his plueky work behind the bat
during the latter part of the game.

Obituary.

ELDRIDGE-Charles H., son of Eli
hew and Catharine Eldridge, was
born in Schoharie county, New York,
October 18th, 1899. He moved to nli-
nois, where he married Hattie Heming,
November 18th, 1862. From there they
came to Emporia, Lyon county, Kas.,
in 1876 For the last few years he has
been badly afflicted with catarrh in the
head. He bore his affection very pa
tiently. He passed quietly away from
earth April sth, 1887. The circle of a
good home is broken. The cord of af-
lection that bound the family together
is sundered. The mother and four chill
dren are left to mourn for departed
loved one. He was inferred in Maple
wood cemetery. The bereaved family
has the sympathy of many friends.
